Why We Love This

An English biscuit tin in the form of a decorated leather book with brown decoration. It was the practice of English biscuit companies in the early-20th century to package their products in unusual tins as a marketing ploy. The tins have become very collectable. This tin is marked "Huntley Palmer +Biscuits+ Reading London England."
